I read this story maybe 3 or 4 years ago the first few chapters. And I just wanna say i personally reallly appreciate and admire you for updating this with your new thoughts. I feel like it’s easy to generalize these things when you are young & so easily influenced. The great thing is you are able to learn from and handle your shame, then re-visit this story with your new knowledge and not only accept that you were once someone who wrote this but twist it into a great message for everyone who follows this story. Ppl who read it initally & should be aware that not only have you grown beyond your knowlegde of the subject, but beyond your discomfort and regret and actually came and told us how you feel. I iust think this is the mark of a really dedicated, truly caring person. This is more of a review of your decision to write this and your excellent speech more than a review on the topics you were visiting here. Good for you bud, be proud of yourself.

Been sick all day, so I've been binging. I have no regrets

Great story I like It a Lot and surprisingly enough im a guy Xd

That’s very brave and inspiring of you to write such a note; thank you so much for doing so. I too feel similar, as an author who didn’t put as much regard and research in to my fics that I should have as a fourteen year old, and now that I’m studying International Relations in university, I cringe and despise the stereotypical characters I’ve written (in another fandom, Hetalia). But at the same time, I’m not sure how to move forward with my fics, and so, I feel amazed that you are capable of stating it so forthright. Thanks, for that.

Hey there! I remember reading this fic—I would have been about the same age as you were writing it. I truly enjoyed reading it, though looking back it's something I would never read today. It takes courage to acknowledge and apologize for the mistakes you made about mental health, and for that I commend you. It's a sign of maturity that many would fail to do. Good luck on becoming a psychologist~

Hi Nat!

Like you, I’ve also grown a lot after this story. I am now 18 years old starting my first semester of university. I remember logging into this site in junior high and enjoying so many fanfictions including yours. Today, I got an e-mail saying you updated the fanfiction. I haven’t been on this site in forever, LOL. I would like to tell you how proud I am of you for taking responsibility for the way you portrayed mental illnesses because it can be hard to own up to your mistakes, but I commend you for it. I also agree that my understanding of mental illness was a lot poorer than now, so thank you for updating and clearing up any misinformation. I hope the best for you and that your studies go well! I’m rooting for you :)

Dammit, I feel like crying... Anyway, I'm kinda disappointed that Rin didn't end up with Mikuo...
But I can't complain; I enjoyed this story..
I feel so bittersweet... x3

Why do I get the heart-breaking feeling that Rin isn't going to choose Mikuo?... TTTT

I think Teto has a crush on Mikuo or something..?

MIKUO! 3

I love Len, but I love Mikuo too... Damn, who should I ship with Rin!? _
I kinda like Mikuo better though... I can't get over the fact that Mikuo is so..so hot? Yeah!
The story's amazing and interesting so far... I'm looking forward to reading this! x3

I read this fanfiction and have to say it is extremely well thought out and we'll written. I love the idea just in general. It is amazing, deep, and simply beautiful. I was actually wondering if I could use the same idea in another fanfiction. It would be one for Hunter x Hunter, so all the characters and the story would be different. The only thing that would stay the same is the fact that the characters are in a mental ward. I just loved this concept and thought it would be great with any fandom and want your permission to use the idea.

I really don't know where to start here, um, well, first of all, THIS WAS, AMAZING! THE DETAIL, THE PERSONALITIES OF THE CHARACTERS, ALL OF IT! IT WAS LIKE HEAVEN! Kay, now for the hard part. This fanfic really connected with me emotionally, because lately, my brain has been in a pretty dark confused place. I really connected with Rin in a sense, and even though i read this fanfic in one day, i felt like it really took me on a long emotional journey. This is going to sound selfish but hear me out, I felt almost like I was Rin, and I was at that ward with her. The end of this story, where Rin decides she will become become a better person, it inspired me to do the same. I feel enlightened after reading this, and it has truly given me mental peace. This started as me trying to find some Rin x Len, and ended with me feeling a lot better about myself in general. So I thank you for writing this. You are an extremely talented writer and word cannot express how much I loved reading this fanfiction. Sorry for getting too deep, lol.

Thank you so much for putting the ending in Teto's POV! I've told you before that Teto is my babbbbbeeeyyyy lol. Even though she kills herself at the end, I really enjoyed this... I don't even know lol.
Thank you Naty!

I just remembered this story (so sorry for never reviewing though) and oh my gosh IT'S SO PERFECT. I spent an entire afternoon re-reading this and I was just... -Hmm what's the word- for lack of better description, BLOWN AWAY. Oh god, Naty, why are you so talented?! xD You managed to flesh out each character and give them life. You weaved their personalities into your plot and it turned out so perfectly! ... I'm sorry for overusing the word perfect. Just pretend it says awesome.

If you do see this review, just remember that you earned yourself a new fan! :D I love your work and you're now my inspiration to keep on writing. Thanks so much! x3
